About the Plant:

Cinnamon is more than just a reddish-brown powder or jar of sticks in your spice drawer. If you are ever deep in the forests of Sri Lanka surrounded by tropical trees of every shape and size, the 45-foot-high evergreen Cinnamon tree will be among them.

You will recognize it by its strong branches, thick scabby bark with young shoots speckled greenish-orange, little white flowers, oval bluish-white berries, and shiny green leathery leaves that give away the delicious cinnamon scent when bruised.

Cinnamon Bark essential oil is derived from the thick bark of tropical evergreen trees through a steam distillation process. Use this essential oil sparingly; one drop goes a long way.

Where It Grows:

Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka, the neighboring Malabar Coast of India, and Myanmar (Burma.) It is also cultivated in South America and the West Indies. Cinnamon Bark is native to Asia; Amrita takes pride in receiving this exquisite variety from Sri Lanka.

Traditional Uses and Lore:

“The ancient Egyptians were known to have used cinnamon in mummification.* Diodorus described how after cleaning the body with palm wine and spices and anointing it with cedar oil and other unguents it was then rubbed down with myrrh, cinnamon, and other aromatics to preserve it.”* — Manniche, as referenced in The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy, Battaglia.

“The Arab traders, who kept its origin a secret, supplied the spice to the Greeks and Romans. The quest for cinnamon was pursued so enthusiastically that it was the principal incentive of the Portuguese in discovering the route around the Cape to India and Ceylon.” — Evans, as referenced in The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy, Battaglia.

This oil is the perfect way to warm up your home during the chilly winter months. It stimulates feelings of relaxation, and it has purifying properties that help clear your airways or circulation if you're feeling sick with colds and flu!*

The warm and intense aroma of Cinnamon Bark essential oil stimulates the appetite and ignites the senses. When pursuing sparks of creativity, softly inhaling Cinnamon Bark can usher in inspiration. It has a sweeter aroma than Cinnamon Leaf and is also a pleasing addition to natural household cleaners.

This rich essential oil can be used as an effective massage oil to ease discomfort in stiff muscles when applied topically.* Please note that blending is the key to leveraging Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil benefits in aromatherapy, as this oil has the potential to be irritating for the skin. It is best experienced in combination with oils that are known for their soothing touch, such as Sweet Orange, Lavender, Tea Tree, Patchouli, or Geranium Rose. A gentle carrier oil, such as Golden Jojoba or Hazelnut, is also recommended to bring out the best from Cinnamon Bark Oil.

Because it is too irritating to use on the skin, it must be diluted extremely well before applying to the skin. A dilution of 0.2% should be maximum and a patch test should be done before topical use. Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil is often used in small quantities to give a slightly spicy tone to essential oil blends.*
